Spell to allow travel to the realm of the dead? (from Springfields)
“Pelako ameso yobe eleggua imbone ukuchila panshita. De domino vestro, aliquis. Et stabit de domino vestro. Audite vocem meam. Ancor, anchor, candones helosi et vos eleutis phugori. De cruinne-ce agus akasha seall me do solas!”
(My note/observation: it seems like John used a combination of an African language or dialect – Bemba – and Latin? We can draw parallels between the incantations used in this episode to Constantine 1×01 and 1×02)
I posted this on my Constantine fan blog but forgot to cross-post it here. There’s a (dead) fanfic which dealt with John being transported to the Harry Potter universe. It’s extremely well written IMO, and hilarious because well, wands and certain other incantations and such.
Before I get to uploading or identifying the spells in Arrow 4×05 whenever I can, I’d like to say this:
In the time I’ve started this blog up, I’ve received numerous strange/stupid messages or asks. I’ve been told by monotheists that believing in this (whatever “this” is) or starting/running this blog was a sin and that I’d be judged for it (if my husband who’s a Muslim is perfectly happy with and supportive of me and this blog, then I’m sorry, but what?), by people sending in random things that don’t make sense, and whatever else. I used to answer those privately or delete them because of sheer ridiculity but I’m now making it a habit to answer or publish all asks I get.
Funnily enough, the ratio of these stupid asks to genuine or friendly asks or messages is about 8:2. I’m not entirely sure why.
So, if I get cranky about being pushed to update, or get cranky about answering/reading asks or messages, this is probably why. I’m going to do my best to figure out what’s just normal text-speech without stupidity involved, but the internet and text alone don’t lend themselves to understanding nuances very easily.
From an actual street mage… you’re doing a fine job. Keep it up!
And Salaam to your husband.
Thank you for your kind words, @catvincent. It’s nice to hear that.
I showed my husband your reply and he smiled and says ‘Salaam’ to you too.
You and your blog are awesome. Screw those guys.
And you can start answering those dumbass questions publicly, if you like. We can join in; it’s free entertainment. 🙂
I agree on the publishing asks publicly thing. If it’s a genuine ask then we can all help or get information (and that’s good), and if it’s a ridiculous one, I guess all of you can enjoy the idiocy of it as well. Lol.
Thanks for your words. 🙂
I love this blog! “Some monotheists” can sit in syrup.
I didn’t want to ‘name names’ since I know not every monotheist (or well, person, really) is like that. So I deliberately generalized it.
I like your choice of insult though. Lol. Okay if I adopt it? 😀
